Direct Digital Manufacturing Inspection and Distortion Control
Abstract
Develop methods to enable inspection of electron beam free form fabrication (EBFFF) of metallic components prior to rough machining for air, sea, and land based systems to ensure quality parts. Develop thermal control strategies to alleviate thermal residual stresses built up via EBFFF that would put the part out of dimensional tolerances and sacrifice structural properties required for service applications.
